This was fabulous. I had never been a huge fan of mochi before this, but this shop turned me into an fervent fanatic. I originally went because my friend swore that it was the best mochi in all of Tok...

A great tasting for only 500 yen!
I was surprised that our tasting menu was so cheap. We started with a little cup of sake, and then received two different teas and a cookie filled with sweet bean p...

Apparently this style of dining, called cakey bikey, is quite popular among young Japanese. For just under 1500 yen, you get 90 minutes of unlimited access to pastas, cakes, drinks, and a chocolate fo...

Gorgeous and chic this little sweets cafe is. Tried several of their chocolates and cakes, however, their macaroons were to die for! These make phenomenal gifts/omiyage for those outside Tokyo, as man...

This is absolutely amazing. I was directed here by a school friend who told me that this was a really famous taiyaki place in Yotsuya. It has an excellent reputation among Japanese, apparently, and de...

This cafe can basically be summarized as a Japanese style tea house with a western twist with organic products. A Starbucks for tea, if you will.
They have loose organic teas (but they don't sell it...

I went to this dessert shop/cafe for my birthday with my boyfriend. Immediately, we were bathed in a sense of eloquence and refinement, not only from the interior design of the cafe, but also from th...

Tanaka-Tei is an often mentioned favorite amongst Kichijoji aficionados. It's located on a quiet street behind the Tokyu department store alongside other pretty cafes and restaurants. As its motto sta...

Hidemi Sugino is one of the most acclaimed Japanese pastry chefs of recent times. He won the 1991 World Baking Competition, and his only and tiny store in Tokyo is constantly sold out. The shop opens ...

This is an absolutely fantastic ice cream/gelato shop. I can't call it ice cream, nor is it gelato but I think it is somewhere in the middle. It's located a very short walk from Ebisu station. For 380...

PanDoll is exactly what'd you think a Japanese bakery should look, smell, and most importantly, taste like. The place isn't big: shelves line the wall, stacked with trays of freshly baked pastries and...

Kasuyo is the quintessential off-the-beaten-path cafe to which you bring family, friends or dates and impress them with your knowledge of Tokyo. Though it is located within a ten-minute walk from Meji...

I really enjoyed this place! I stopped in for tea and sweets one afternoon while shopping in Ginza, and it was the perfect little getaway for a hot summer day. The decor may look a little out-dated,...
